Fedora Release Notes.....
by EGO-II.1
I usually read up on the release notes immediately after upgrading. But
I'm going to be on the road a lot, with no internet connection within
the next 4 weeks, and I don't want to waint until I find an internet
cafe, or until I retur home. Is there somewhere that I could find the
release notes for F18 in a pdf format?...so that I can read up on it on
my Kindle?...or is there an application that can convert the html
webpage into a pdf?....just curious is all...and might this be something
that can be "included" with the next release?...a pdf format?
Thanks In Advance

OT Web servers and ISP
by Roger
I have run into a gotcha with the ISP which will not provide Rails 3 on
a shared server.
Can someone please enlighten me as to why not. What are the problems?
Apologies for OT but google so far doesn't help.
TIA

Not So Bad......
by EGO-II.1
So I finally have gone ahead and performed the Upgrade to F18 using
Fedup. And I have to say, it wasn't as bad as I had THOUGHT it was gonna
be! Kudos to the devs for this one....I just hope that in the future,
this'll remain the way to upgrade your system. Also I am curious as to
if there will ever be a GUI to go with this...the way Anaconda had one?
But other than that...it was quick and painless.....hopefully the Super
Bowl will be the same!...LoL!
Go 'Niners!
Cheers!

Fedora 17: unable to login. Laptop keypad is locked
by santosh
Hi,
I am having dual boot Winxp / Fedora 17. In winxp everything is working fine.
By mistake the "Shift key" was pressed for a long time, It displayed
to activate "sticky key". I clicked on "Activate" button blindly.
(As I was not aware of it)
At that time keyboard of my laptop was working fine.
When I rebooted the machine, Keypad is locked, unable to type
password, hence unable to login.to the system.
I have tried to boot through old kernels. Its booting properly then it
displays login prompt. At that point I am unable to
type password as keypad of my laptop is locked.
Please suggest what should I do ?
Regards
Santosh

humble suggestion to Fedora developers
by Ranjan Maitra
Dear friends,
By now, it is clear that F18 has not quite matched up to expectations.
The main problem appears to be the installer. Several people here have
expressed their intent to stick to F17 and give F18 a miss. While there
is always a small proportion that appear to say this every time a new
release is put out, there is a larger issue here for Fedora itself:
several of us can not update because fedup or even fedora-upgrade does
not work (and some of us do not want to try this out because failing
would mean dealing with the installer or going back to F17). However,
Fedora needs to have people try out the distribution to work through
kinks in all the packages, otherwise F19 will be equally bad if not
worse. But without installing F18, there is no way out to this problem.
Therefore, I would like to suggest that Fedora put this current
installer (F18) in abeyance and re-roll the release using the old
installer while the new one is fixed for F19 (after responding to the
feedback generated thus far). I am not sure how an update to the
installer in F18 will help since an install is needed for an update and
once updated, there is no need for the installer. The main benefit to
Fedora for such an approach will be that all the other features
introduced in F18 can be tried and evaluated.
Best wishes,
Ranjan

Tint2 - panel/task bar
by Rafnews
Hi,
2 days ago i installed tint2 on my fedora 2. I put it as startup
application via gnome-session-properties.
for an unknown reason, today morning when my computer started, tint2 was
not anymore among startup applications and therefore didn't start at fedora
boot :(
have you already had something similar ?
thx

to me, a *button* is a selection icon on the toolbar, not an "[X]" selection
in a list of configurations, which you mention and on my system show as;
[] Scripts Globally Allowed (dangerous)
i do not see it under the "S" icon list. it is in list tab "General" when
the "Options" is selected in "S" icon drop down. [i am not trying to be
technical. just want to be 'specific' about where i see it.]

i do not claim to know what VanguardLH is thinking, tho it would help if
he were more 'specific'.

Solved now. Bit of a brown paper bag moment. I must have unknowingly
disabled wifi, but exactly when I was testing that kernel.
Fixed by:
# yum install rfkill
# rfkill list all
0: eeepc-wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes <-- HERE
Hard blocked: no
...
# rfkill unblock all
(Or press [Fn][F2]).
I was just a bit dismayed to see that software blocking wifi removes
the wifi device line from the output of lspci:
01:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X
Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
Thanks,
Mike
